    Ghost demonstrates well enough Ferreira's versatility, certainly her stylishness, but even more than those, it shows her empathy.

    It's wildly diverse, but there's a lightness and unobtrusiveness to each song that mirrors her airy delivery while hinting at even more untapped potential.

    While all of the songs on the Ghost are good, the EP's identity crises will keep pulling listeners out of the experience.

    Ferreira follows with a smörgåsbord of styles taking in electro-pop, country torch song, grunge and urban crossover pop.

    All together, it's just another round of throwing ideas at the wall. Everything sticks, more or less. But for how long?

    There's something inherently adolescent about an EP that veers sharply from genre to genre, each song an island, completely separate from those that precede and those that follow.

    Este EP es gloria, siento que el mundo tiene una artista excelente e innovadora y no saben aprovecharla. Canciones como "Ghost", "Sad Dream" oEste EP es gloria, siento que el mundo tiene una artista excelente e innovadora y no saben aprovecharla. Canciones como "Ghost", "Sad Dream" o "Everything is Embarrassing" son aquellas que demuestran en profundidad el álbum y te pueden resumir una vida entera en un par de minutos. El álbum es algo a lo que no he podido desprenderme desde hace como dos semanas porque simplemente no puedes y quieres más y más. El talento de ésta mujer no es ni medio normal. Expand

    I am astonished at the lack of positive reviews from critics for this EP.
    This particular project from Sky Ferreira shows us how different she is from other pop, rock, and electronic artists. She incorporates different elements from all 3 of these genres, with an indie vibe. One of the EPs songs - entitled 'Everything Is Embarassing', is by far the greatest song on this project, followed by the alternative ballad 'Ghost'. Overall, the EP is nearly perfect. But, the mix of electronic/synthpop & rock/indie makes the EP very difficult to let "sink in", but other than that; this is an AMAZING collection of electronic, rock, and pop music. Sky Ferreira is a VERY talented artist with a very unique sound - this EP definitely solidifies that statement.

    Unlike a lot of artists and bands, Sky Ferreira used the opportunity to make an EP into more of a tease and a "look what I can do" venture. ItUnlike a lot of artists and bands, Sky Ferreira used the opportunity to make an EP into more of a tease and a "look what I can do" venture. It shows just how versatile, and talented, she is and this approach seemed a lot more genuine than anything else she could have done to get her name out there. I really enjoyed the alternative/folk/pop/indie sound of 'Ghost' and 'Sad Dream' but she shines brightest in 'Everything Is Embarrassing' and 'Lost In My Bedroom.' She also kicks ass in 'Red Lips.' She will go far creatively and successfully if she dodges the pressures of "making it big" and continues to make work she's most comfortable with. Expand

The tracks don't match! Although I love Sky Ferreira, I don't know if I love or hate this. Expand
